I’m actually more surprised by this bit:
I mean didn’t you spend paragraphs upon paragraphs talking about Elmo’s ‘contributions’ to Ukraine with Starlink and his backpedaling after his public suggestion that the Pentagon should be paying him for his ‘contributions’ met with vast public criticism? And then ignore or downplay Elmo having Starlink bill the Pentagon after the outrage died down?
Now you’re calling him a defense contractor? /Scratches head.
Oh, and the imagery you evoke is that of a villain in a James Bond movie, not one associated with any defense contractor trope I’ve ever heard of.
